Islamists Hurl Petrol Bombs at Danish Mission in Iran

What a coincidence that a HANDFUL of club-wielding muslim thugs (who themselves work for the Islamist Republic) is quick to gather the complete attention of the western press but when THOUSANDS of Iranians come out, putting their lives at danger, protesting against the savage Islamist Republic one would be extremely lucky to hear any MENTIONING of it on Al-Reuters! AP! The Guardian! CNN! CNBC! SkyNews!.....

Protesters Hurl Petrol Bombs at Danish Mission in Iran

TEHRAN -- Dozens of protesters pelted the Danish embassy in Tehran with stones and petrol bombs on Tuesday after Danish television broadcast footage deemed insulting to the Muslim Prophet Mohammad, witnesses said.

Denmark's state TV aired footage on Friday of a number of members of the youth wing of the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party (DPP) drawing cartoons in August mocking the Prophet. Iran condemned the broadcast.

Reuters witnesses said protesters hurled stones and petrol bombs into the embassy compound. The crowd chanted "Down with Zionists" and "God praise the party of God".

Riot police guarded the embassy and two fire trucks stood nearby. Firefighters extinguished a tyre which was set alight next to the embassy compound wall, the witnesses said.

Denmark's ambassador to Tehran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Monday to complain about the video clips, which follow cartoons published in the Danish press last year that sparked outrage in the Islamic world.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has condemned those who made such insults as "low life".

In September last year Danish daily Jyllands-Posten printed cartoons, including one showing the Prophet with a bomb in his turban.

Those cartoons sparked protests across the Middle East, including Iran where protesters also pelted the embassy with stones and petrol bombs.

Some 232 lawmakers from Iran's 290-seat parliament urged Ahmadinejad on Tuesday to cut Iran's trade ties with Denmark over the latest footage, the semi-official Mehr News Agency reported.

"The past attempts of the Danish government regarding this insult (to the Prophet) have been repeated, this time, by the visual media," Mehr reported.

"Since this is not tolerable, we call for cutting the economic ties to Denmark and if continued, cutting the political ties," the lawmakers said.

Islamic Regime Spends US$420.000 in Construction of Toilets in Iraq!

In the early days after the Islamist takeover of Iran in 1979-1980 the Mullah's were going to demolish PERSEPOLIS -which is SACRED GROUND for any true Iranian- with bulldozers! Mullah Khalkhali and a group of Islamist thugs were onsite and ready to carry out their orders. If it wasn't for a brave group of Shirazi compatriots who defended that SACRED GROUND from the hands of these TAAZI's there would be no Persepolis left!

See back then, it was just after the Islamist takeover and people's stomach's were still full from what Shah and the Iranian Government had given this ungrateful people which enabled them to carry out this kind of protest action - but today, if the mullah's decide to go ahead with their Sivand Dam project, which will flood an immense area filled with our cultural heritage, none would be able to even object! let alone carry out any kind of protest action! they are too busy SURVIVING!

I get goose bumps just thinking of how much of Iran's (our!) cultural heritage these Muslims have quitely destroyed, in these past 27 years, without any resistance by the Iranian Nation!

Mullah's are descendants of Mohammad the Arab! They do not have any feelings towards Iran! When will this nation understand this!? When they spend millions of dollars on Mosque lavatories in Najaf and Karbala in Iraq whilst Iranian cultural heritage sites are being neglected, is it really that difficult to conclude where their loyalties lie!?!

OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE SITES ARE IRREPLACABLE! I hope everyone understands this! I hope the Iranian Nation understands this!

ICHHTO Short of Funds and Islamic Regime Spends US$420.000 in Construction of Toilets in Iraq
07 October 2006

http://www.cais-soas.com/News/2006/O...7-10-ichto.htm


LONDON, (CAIS) -- Nearly 3,800 Iranian historic venues have been registered on the National Heritage List over the past year.

Head of Iran Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHHTO), Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, made the remark while presenting a report on his one-year record since he took office last year.

He predicted that another 780 ancient sites would be listed as national heritage by the yearend (March 20, 2007). The official put the total number of registered sites at 16,400.

Rahim Mashaei was quoted by the Persian daily Jaam-e Jam as saying that close to 28 billion rials has (US$ 2.94 million) been allocated for restoring old textures.

“Even if the current budget is doubled, it would fall short of requirements,“ he stated.

This claim came amidst of a news by the Persian service of ISNA on October 1st, that the Islamic Regime is spending millions of Iranian dollars on Iraqi religious buildings.

According to ISNA, the Islamic Regime has contributed 4 billion rials (US$420,000) for the construction of a sanitation system for ablution and toilets in Na'l-Jin street, near the tomb of Hussain (3rd Shi'a imam) in Karbala, to be used by visitors during the Islamic month of Ramadhan; this is while Persepolis lacks 3 billion rials (US$ 315,000) to carry out urgent restoration works, in which the authorities in charge of the historical edifice are humbling themselves for handouts

According to the report, the cost of retiling and masonry of the tomb of the 11th shi'a imam in Kazamain (in Iraq) have cost Iranians 15 billion rials (US$1.57 million).

The regime is also constructing "the Apron of Fatimja Al-Zahra", an extravagant 35,0002 two story extension in Ali's (first Shi'a Imam) tomb complex in the Iraqi city of Najaf, which its' massive cost has not yet been declared.

"Western" politicians shamelessly try to depict Iran as a "democracy"!

A few years back an idiot to U.S. Deputy Sec. of State, Richard Armitage, called Iran a "democracy". Now it's the turn of some bastard British politicians to follow suit!

CLICK HERE FOR FULL ARTICLE

"Iran is a democracy, however odious parts of the regime may be. North Korea is a dictatorship led by a man who people don't know very much about," said a source in Whitehall, seat of Britain's government.

Surely these kind of insulting statements must somehow be in line with some "western" politicians' agenda of fooling public opinion that the Mullah's are a democratic society and that Iranians live in a democracy!

Someone tell these fools that elections in democracies do not filter out "un-desirable individuals" - in this case those who oppose the Islamic Republic in any shape or form, women, and non-muslims (that would be anything from Christians, Zoroastrians, to Atheists!). Only those deemed friendly to the Islamist regime are allowed to run in the sham-elections! They are hand-picked from amongst themselves! These "elec-shows" which the Mullah's hold every 4 years seem to be for the sole interest of their European partners in crime to be able to justify and fool public opinion into believing that this terrorist and savage theocracy is a "democracy"!

I won't even go into the crimes against humanity that this disgustingly backward Islamic Republic has commited upon the Iranian Nation!

I've said it before and i'll say it again . The enemy of the Iranian Nation is a much larger force than some backward mullah's ! The Iranian Government and the late Shah had to deal with and face this enemy before the Islamists were able to destabilize and hijack the country. We where well on our way to be able to confront this enemy but we suffered a terrible loss in 1979! Lets learn for the future!

Do these "peepole" have no shame in saying something so absurd as "the Islamic Republic is a democracy"!!!?

Hugh Fitzgerald offers a polite recommendation to Iranians- Zoroastrianism

Iranians cannot go un living under the misery of Islam. Although educating all Iranians will undoubtedly take time, this Arab religion's expiration date in Iran is long overdue. Personally I do not adhere to any kind of religion - I still do have faith in God and try to be as "good" as possible in my actions but I see religion as a tool for various religious establishments to control people; weak people seek guidance in these religions when they should be seeking guidance from within themselves. If it's guidance we seek then we should look for it within ourselves, religious clergymen do not have a monopoly on being able to communicate with God; if only more of us understood this we wouldn't have all these religious conflicts that plague our planet.

Zoroastrianism which isn't really a religion, as many refer to it as, is more a philosophy of life which encourages mankind in its three fundamental principles to follow through with "Good Thoughts, Good Words, & Good Deeds" in life. This ancient Iranian philosophy does not incite hatred, call for the deaths of others, or try in any shape or form to impose itself on people.

Iranians cannot go on living fake lifes. One cannot be a Muslim and an Iranian at the same time. Being a Muslim means you hate Iran, Iranians, Iranian Culture and Values. The "fake muslims" (due to their ignorance) who compromise the majority in Iran need to be educated on Islam. Our nation needs patriotic IRANIANS not backward superstitious fake/true muslims.
Iranian culture and Islam cannot co-exist peacefully because they are at strict odds with each other. For 1400 years Islam has been able to impose itself on the Iranian Nation and we need to make sure that this long-time threat to Iran and Iranians is neutralized and hopefully in the end disposed of.

Please have a look at the "polite recommendation to Iranians" below.

Hugh Fitzgerald offers a polite recommendation to Iranian- Zoroastrianism

One wonders how many intelligent people in Iran, or among the Iranians in intelligent exile, wish that Islam had never arrived, that "gift" from far more primitive people, the gift that for the Iranians keeps on giving -- giving trouble, pain, anguish, mental desarroi. How many secretly would wish they could tow their own country out to sea somewhere, away from the Arabs and the other Muslims, adopt Zoroastrianism or Christianity or nothing at all but the cult of poesy (Sa'adi, Hafiz, Firdowsi, Omar Khayyam) and let Persians, as they see it, be Persians? How many secretly nurse an increasing distaste for the Iranian regime – which after all was founded by that thoroughly learned Shi'a theologian, the Ayatollah Khomeini?


If you have forgotten what the Ayatollah Khomeini was all about, or his hanging judge Khalkhali, consider that virtually his first act was to reduce the marriageable age of girls to nine (and by now you know why), and to start executing the leaders of the Bahai and Jewish communities. Later on his followers would polish off the naive leftists who had initially thought they could use him, though it turned out to be the other way round; Shahpour Bakhtiar was the most deplorable example. Over twenty-five years of terror, idiocy, and boredom have had one unintended benefit: Islamic rule, at least for those Iranians who think and feel, is beginning to be understood as the problem. There are still those "reformers" who pretend that the problem is not deeply rooted within Islam (i.e., Shirin Ebadi). There are others who allow themselves to believe the same thing, more out of ignorance than calculation: they have never studied what actually has been the treatment of Armenians, Jews, and Zoroastrians ever since the Arabs came to town, bearing as their little gift (in the shape of a Trojan Horse) the mental straitjacket of Islam.

And lest anyone forget the quality of Khomeini's Muslim-drenched thought, the fons et origo of the Islamic Republic of Iran, reread just the words (indeed, print them out, put them under a magnet on your refrigerator, every time you feel your resolve beginning to weaken) quoted in Ibn Warraq's Why I Am Not a Muslim (p. 11-12) and Robert Spencer's Islam Unveiled (p. 35).

Here they are:

Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled or incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. . . . But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. . . . Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender [to the enemy]? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.

These are not the words of a "Wahhabi" extremist, but of a learned Shi'a theologian. He says nothing that does not have complete support in Islamic theology and ideology. No one has been able to show that Khomeini misuses the Qur'an, Hadith, or Sira -- for he does not.

It is the "reformers" who will have to jettison the texts, or play fast and loose with them, or pretend they can do things with them that almost no one will accept -- and that, in any case, Infidels cannot assume that enough Muslims will have really accepted. One does not bet one's civilization, or one's immigration or military policy, on the possibility of something for which there is no evidence that it could ever happen, that it has ever happened in 1350 years, or that somehow, all of a sudden, Muslims around the world will now start to learn an entirely new Islam. If Jihad is removed from Islam, if the relentless and aggressive desire to spread Islam and to create the conditions in all the lands of the Infidels so that Islam may rule and Muslims may dominate is removed from Islam, so many Muslims would say that the result was not Islam at all as to render the reform moot. If Islam were to be "reformed" so as to dissolve the strict boundary distinction between Believer and Infidel, which Muslims are urged to maintain in every way, it would no longer be Islam. If Islam were to be "reformed" so that its Total Explanation of the Universe became subject to modern science, if it became "reformed" so that its similar Total Regulation of Life were no longer merely ignored by many, but actually tossed out, it would no longer be Islam.

It was the real Islam, the Islam of Khomeini, which still prevails today in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Isn't it time for dissident Iranians to give the religion of their ancestors -- Zoroastrianism -- a try? Whatever the precise doctrines of Zoroastrianism (and as Zarathustra has not spoken to me, I'm in no position to say) really are, they are irrelevant. Zoroastrianism is not Islam; it predates Islam; it was more or less suppressed and almost entirely destroyed by Islam; it could be taken as a symbol of a revived sense of Iran and Iranian nationalism, in the same spirit in which Firdowsi's Shahnameh is seen not only as a great national epic, but as the literary defense that preserved Persian from the religiously-supported onslaught of Arabic.

Sounds crazy, does it? Well, is the Muslim world one that strikes you as defined by its rationality? Down with the ayatollahs and the money-mad mullahs. Up with Zoroaster. Meanwhile, Persians in exile, including those in Los Angeles who may be horrified to see their own children now speaking of Islam with too much interest and sympathy (in the same horrified way that refugees from the Soviet Union may find their own children, from the safety of the United States, now spouting left-wing platitudes), should look into Mary Boyce's scholarship and her own reports about the Zoroastrians with whom she lived in Iran in the 1970s. They should also consult the reports of Napier Malcolm, from the 1890s, on the mistreatment of Zoroastrians, and the consult other reports, other scholarship, much of which has been completely ignored (Graduate students of Iranian descent: look into this -- you have your dissertation topics ripe for the plucking).

Also sprach Zarathustra.

More than 5% of Iran's total population are DRUG-ADDICTED!

Heroin! Opium! You name it! The Islamic Republic has it and is willing to give it to you CHEAP! Currently regular drug addicts/users total 4 million (out of a total population of 70 million) according to the U.N. World Drug Report for 2005. Drugs are given out like candy amongst Iran's youth by the filthy Islamic Republic - this takes care of any threat of rebellion!

If the Islamic Republic is allowed to continue like this we will surely be setting new records unimaginable before!!! Once a mighty and glorious EMPIRE today reduced to a disgustingly backward Islamic theocracy setting records in drug/opium-addiction!

I wasn't there to ruin and destroy Iran in 1979 but those who were should really be ashamed of themselves for what they have done to an entire nation, people, and culture. This is what the ANgohlabi generation has passed down to us, the generation born after the Islamic takover of 1979.

RISE UP NOW! or continue rotting away in what has become a hellhole!

Islam: The greatest threat to modern civilization

I'd like to bring to your attention this article published by a fellow compatriot, Amil Imani (see his website for more on his works).

Islam: The greatest threat to modern civilization

Saturday, 23 September 2006

Nearly 1400 years ago, a group of nomads from across the scorching Arabian Desert conquered Iran (Persia), the greatest empire known to the history of man. With that, they almost destroyed one of the most benevolent and beautiful religions of all humanity, Zoroastrianism, often called the mother of all revealed religions. Due to its antiquity and subsequent influences on later Judaic beliefs, Judaism as we know it has endearingly been dubbed by some scholars as "Moses through Zoroastrian eyes." It is no coincidence that the Old Testament was put into written form during the height of Persian predominance, when Zoroastrian ideas, such as the triumph of Good over Evil, and concepts related to an after-life, such as Heaven, Hell, Resurrection, and Paradise (itself a Persian word) found their way into ancient Judaism, especially in the post-exilic period. Dr. W.Y. Evans-Wentz, an Oxford professor who was one of the world's leading authorities on Eastern mysticism and religion, was quoted in the book, "In Search of the Birth of Jesus: The Real Journey of the Magi", by Paul William Roberts, as saying: "Without Zarathushtra there would be no Christ". He was essentially making a strong statement about the immense stature and profound influence of Zoroastrianism at the time, since the religion of Zoroaster had been in existence for at least 2000 years before the birth of Christ. Ironically, though, the acknowledgment of the birth of Jesus by the Three Magi or the "Wise Men of the East", who were Zoroastrian priests, has been celebrated in the setting of the Nativity scene during Christmas celebrations by believers all around the globe, yet little or no attention is given to the fact that the three men bearing gifts for the infant in the manger made their journey from Iran (or ancient Persia) and were in fact Zoroastrians who welcomed the birth of a new religion. Although enumerating the influences of Zoroastrianism and Iranian Civilization on the world cultures is not the primary objective of this author and is out of the scope of the present article, it is important to demonstrate the salient point of how Islam has been on a collision course with great civilizations from its inception. Just as it brutally conquered and bitterly stifled one of the fountainheads of progress in ancient Iran, Islam still remains a very real threat to Western Civilization and to any progressive civil society in the 21st century. It is virulently capable of great destruction and retardation of minds, as we have seen in the past two decades, and the clear and present danger should be taken very seriously by any open-minded citizen of this planet who cares about freedom, human rights and progress. It is noteworthy that Zoroastrianism was the official religion of all Persian kings, yet it was never forced onto the non-Zoroastrian subjects of the Persian Empire. Of all the great Aryan Kings of Iran (Iran means "Land of the Aryans"), Cyrus the Great, more than 2500 years ago, represented the true embodiment of Zoroastrian beliefs. Cyrus attributed his conquests to Ahuramazda, the Creator of Life and Wisdom, the One and only God of the Universe. This Zoroastrian King and his descendants, who called themselves Aryans (not to be associated with the false and negative connotations during WWII), which literally means "Nobles," freed the Jews from the captivity in Babylon (present-day Iraq) and assisted them in re-building their Temple in Jerusalem. For his noble act, Cyrus is praised in the Hebrew Old Testament as the "Anointed of the Lord", a title never before given to any gentile, past or present. "Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden" (Isaiah 45:1). Thus Cyrus, an Iranian of Persian lineage and a follower of Zoroastrianism was immortalized in history. This benevolent deed, in fact, was the action of a true Iranian. The protection of the weak and the down-trodden is a fundamental belief, which is incorporated into the daily prayers of Zoroastrians to this very day. Indeed, tolerance and understanding toward peoples of different cultures, races, and religions, was the hallmark of Zoroastrian teachings, unlike in Islamic teachings, and were codified in the famous Cyrus Cylinder that laid down the principles of human rights as we know them today. Even though a replica of the Cyrus Cylinder adorns the lobby of the United Nations building in New York City, alas, very few visitors truly appreciate its Iranian and Zoroastrian origin. Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, tragedy reigns in the "Land of the Nobles". The remnants of the great Persian Empire were swallowed up by the Muslim conquerors storming out of Arabia, and a tyrannical version of Islam eviscerated the spiritual life of tolerant old Persia. Regrettably, Zoroastrianism, the original Iranian religion, was not an effective barrier against the radical and backward religion from the Arabian Desert, and to this day, despite renewed waves of Iranian nationalism, neither Zoroastrianism nor Iranian culture have fully rebounded from this tragedy. In fact, the Islamic regime in Iran has actively down-played the ancient Iranian and Persian cultures and continues to suppress any sense of nationalism that may be perceived as a "threat" to Islam or the Islamic regime. The prophet of Islam motivated his rapidly growing body of followers to rally around him by proclaiming: if they are victorious they will have the treasures of the infidels as well as their women and children as slave to hold or sell; if the faithful kill the infidels in doing the work of Allah, further reward awaits them in paradise; and, in the unlikely event that they are killed, they find themselves in Allah's glorious paradise for eternal life of joy and bliss. The outlandish, frequently confused and often contradictory incoherent rhetoric of Muhammad made the less gullible few question his sanity. They dismissed him as an "Insane Poet". Yet, the generality of the savages found in him their savior -- the one who would lead them to all the good in this world and the next. It was a win-win proposition for them: win and you are rewarded handsomely; lose your life, and you go directly to heaven. How could they refuse? Muhammad preached that earthly life is a small price to pay for eternal life; it is the next life that the faithful should seek. Hence, Islam can rightfully be considered a cult of death, not life; it will never run out of volunteers to sacrifice their lives until Islam itself expires. All pre-Islamic achievements that may strengthen the attraction on the part of the Iranian populace are de-emphasized and sometimes even falsely attributed to Islam, to prevent the average Iranian and the world at large from finding out the historical truths about the destruction and retardation Islam has brought to the region. Let it be known that Islam has not given anything to the civilized world, but continues to take credit for the arts and science produced by peoples it has conquered. Others lost their identity and heritage and embraced the ways of their new rulers. It is this band of savages, an oppressive tyrannical minority, which is presently ruling Iran. Yet even under the rule of Islamofascism, the overwhelming majority of Iranians of various ethnicities and religions remain faithful to their ancient creed – a creed that was given to the world by Zoroaster. The faith of Zoroaster, based on the triad of Good Thoughts, Good Speech and Good Deed, constituted the standard of life for the Persian. Other teachings of the faith of Zoroaster, arguably the most ancient divine religion, have inspired the teachings of other faiths. Islam, as it is officially practiced in Iran today, is a stultifying, iron cowl. After 1400 years, militant Islam is again the greatest threat to existence of the free world and Judeo-Christian civilization. The very same evil force that set out to destroy the Iranian civilization partially succeeded in ancient times, and still strives hard to deliver the coup de grace to the Iranian people. The modern manifestation of the Islamic Caliphate has reincarnated into the "Islamic Republic" of Iran, which has been holding the majority of Iranians hostage for the past 28 years. Islamofascists ruling the country hope to realize their expansionist master-plan after defeating the people of Iran first, and ultimately unleashing their reign of Islamic terror on the rest of the world in succession. Hence, the importance of American support for the Iranian people cannot be overemphasized. Let us remember that the Arabs who sallied out of the deserts did not fan out to the outside world with the Quran in one hand and flowers in the other, preaching love and peace from street corner to street corner, aiming to capture the hearts and minds of the people. Islam was forced on every culture it encountered at the point of the sword. The kinder, gentler alternative was the imposition of the backbreaking jizyah (poll tax) levied on those who were spared the sword and allowed to retain their religious beliefs as "infidels." In spite of paying the heavy jizyah, non-Muslims were consistently treated, at best, as second class citizens in their own homelands all across the Middle East. Islam once again, 1400 years later, is seeking world domination through worldwide Islamic terrorism. It is seeking the destruction of everything in the world that is good, and intends to replace it with the most barbaric ideology known to the history of man. Islam sees Christian America as a formidable enemy standing in its path of world-domination. Hence, it has waged a war on Christian America. The death of Jesus on the Cross is a symbol of love by God who was willing to sacrifice His Son to show that love. Yet, Islam's ultimate goal is to obliterate this symbol of love and forgiveness, which also were the words of Jesus Christ and what He stood for. Militant Islam intends to bring down Christian America by hook or by crook. How are they are going to achieve this lofty goal? By creating chaos and crisis, by bringing the Islamic suicide bombers into the new world, by weakening the American people, and by casting terror, intimidation, fear and uncertainty into the lives of the American people. The Constitution of the United States is the most glorious liberty document ever written for free men. It protects the friends as well as the foes of the land. Militant Islam plans to take advantage of the vulnerability of the United States Constitution. They will attack every living organism under the aegis of the "Religion of Peace." The time seems to be ripe for this action. Islam will destroy one's moral power, it saps the foundation of Christianity, and it disturbs and endangers one's union with the true God. It fetters one's progress and free will. Islam is the enemy of improvements and the deadly foe of education. It demolishes one's pride, it breeds insolence, it promotes vice, it shelters crime, and it is a curse upon the free world. Islam is the greatest threat facing Christian America today. Mosques have been popping up all over the free land. It won't be too long before we see our glorious constitution replaced by the Islamic Sharia. The Persians have learned this hard lesson, so, let us make sure that Americans learn this lesson from the Persian experience. The overwhelming majority of Iranians of today stand shoulder to shoulder with the civilized free people of the world to defeat Islamofascism. The Iranians have not forgotten their heritage; they take pride in their ancient creed of light -- that of Zoroaster; they see themselves as inheritors of a great culture and tradition -- that of Cyrus the Great, the exemplary just king; and are determined to pay any price to put an end, once and for all, to the virulent disease of Islamofascism. "The light of American freedom must be preserved for humanity. To save our democracy, all Americans must unite!!" -- Thomas Jefferson

"The Water Is Polluted In Its Source"

A very interesting and enlightening essay that i'd like to bring to your attention.

The Water Is Polluted In Its Source (click for original persian link)

By Amir Sepehr
Hezbe Mihan (Monarchist)

(Unauthorized translation)
http://www.hezbemihan.com/


In evaluating our problems, we’ve fallen into the habit of occupying ourselves more with speculative discussions. I have personally experienced that those of us who are political occupy ourselves with opinions before dealing with facts. The same is true when we try to get a message across. We spin the morsel some fifty times before feeding it to the mind of our readers and listeners. We subject our speech to a thousand bends and turns and deliver it using unfamiliar terms to demonstrate our level of understanding. The result is that in our country they take people’s eyes out and cut off their limbs, but we style ourselves as the greatest intellectuals on the planet!

We’ve yet to learn that showing off in speech is a sign of ignorance and that it is such displays of talent (which would have no buyer even in the Bazaar for the artless) that has been the cause of our miseries and misfortunes. If I don’t write in such a way so that more than 70% of my readers get my message and comprehend what I’ve written, then I’ve only been showing off, that’s all. Even the learned among us confuse addressing ordinary people (and who isn’t one) with academic and specialized discussions of the university. This disease has even affected the clergy, so that these days, just about every Mullah in every single idiotic writing of his, will refer to two or three philosophers, and four or five world famous authors to imply his proximity to the society of the masters of Arts and letters!

I write this preface to underline the bitter truth that, alas, a society seemingly full of thinkers and intellectuals has fewer intellectuals in the true sense than the number of one’s fingers. If it had, how could it be in such a state of disgrace, helplessness and confusion? It’s not my intention to recite a mournful song, and begin a sorrowful story by recounting for the thousandth time, that which has brought us to this point. But if you and I remain silent, if you and I don’t try to understand, we will once again fail to recognize what we’ve been doing wrong. We are still going the wrong way, and not just one or two, here and there, but probably in tens or hundreds of thousand. And that, apparently the most educated among us (at least they regard themselves as such!). You may then add this to the preface: You know best!

What pained my illiterate mother (a most frugal woman from a village) or your house-owning aunt that, in order to have it relieved, they had to follow the likes of Mullah Khalkhali and Hadi Ghaffari? What about my poor late uncle, who had no idea what an Islamic revolution meant? Once he came to visit us from Ardabil, thinking of joining the protesters. When I objected, he shouted “Sonny, you mean to say that all these university folk, doctors, engineers, and intellectuals are all a bunch of donkeys to have chosen Imam Khomeini as their leader?” Perhaps, were he alive today, he would have realized the truth in the reply by hearing of which he then really lost his temper. Laughing

Let us go back twenty-five years. Our hopes had been met sooner than all other nations in that part of the world. We were, perhaps, the first to reach liberty. To reach the 1979 juncture, our parents had labored for some 200 years. We were two steps, yes two steps, away from liberty. I’m referring to the Shah’s last Prime Minister, Shapour Bakhtiar, who sacrificed his life for his country. His government was the result of several generations’ struggle and self-sacrifice. But where was one to find an intelligent person who understood the pulse of the nation. One may not have expected much from the “common” people, who with the flimsy rope provided them, had entered a bottomless pit looking for a treasure box. None among the self-styled intellectuals and political types understood that incomparable and unique window of opportunity, and did not realize that: Hey, enough! Henceforth we must protect what we’ve gained, and not continue burning banks, destroy governmental buildings, and sacrifice our reason, our mind, our country, our honor, our prestige, our history, our culture, our dignity, our good name, and our nation’s wealth to welcome the arrival of the Mullahs.

If our “intellectual” was intellectual, if our “nationalist” understood nationalism, if our political types had a clue about politics, you may judge for yourselves where we would be today. I wont pretend that we would be a Switzerland or Sweden, but I write without any doubt that not only we would be one of the wealthiest and most prosperous nations in the world, but that we would also have a democracy proportional to ourselves as well, along with a secular government, which we already had! Our children too, instead of starving in schools, would benefit from free milk and fruits, as they already did! Had we intellectuals and political activists worthy of such designations, would we have incurred a million dead and invalids from the war alone? How many millions of drug addicts would we have? Would we see our loved ones displayed for sale in Arabian slave markets? Would our honor and prestige been as blemished in the world? Would our national resources been put on sale?

Ebrahim Yazdi, himself a key figure in the transformation of Sheiks and Mullahs into the lords and chieftains atop the Iranian people, and the person most responsible for handing over the elites among the brave officers of the Iranian Imperial Armed Forces to the lunatic and bloodthirsty Mullah Khalkhali, happened to give an interview this year on the occasion of the anniversary of the occupation of the US embassy. Do you know what he said? I shall quote him verbatim so that we learn the condition of our economy as the Shah was leaving Iran. I do not have the slightest doubt that while speaking of these figures, Yazdi was not even a bit embarrassed or felt any pain of conscience. Let us understand what has happened to us in these dark years; let us think why the Iranian people are reduced to selling their kidneys in order to survive. Readers will note that the figures concern our holdings in the US government alone, as in the period under discussion we had tens of other investments in the US private sector. One of these was the ownership of one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan, which, when I was young, I had visited as an observance of my national pride. I had my picture taken in front of its entrance. It was 1977, two years before the revolution. The Islamic Republic sold the skyscraper and the Mullahs pocketed the money. A few years ago, when I chanced to pass by it again, I saw standing about a few Iranian-speaking drug addicts. One of them, who had a dog, and was about the same age as I, when I had first visited the building, stood begging near the spot where I had taken my picture. (Is it even possible not to burn with rage when thinking of common thieves who style themselves after “intellectuals”?)

In addition to investments, we had reserves of ready cash in all other industrial nations of the world. France had borrowed a billion dollars from us; so had Britain. But here is an excerpt from Yazdi’s interview with ISNA (Nov 2, 2004):

“Billions of dollars of US weapons, including strategic weapons, fighter jets and submarines had been paid for and needed spare parts, and we had to settle this. There were unfinished projects that had already been fully paid for, and we needed to settle that. In Iran’s revolving funds account in the US Department of Defense, there was some 33 billion dollars. Spare parts and military equipment for the Iranian armed forces were all paid for and waiting in US airports, ready for delivery. Before the revolution the surplus from the oil revenue was looked after in US banks. In the United States we had some 14 billion dollars of ready cash.”

I wrote that it is not my intention to bemoan the past; what has passed has passed. But have we, the intellectuals and the politically minded among us in particular, learned anything from the experience of our destructive acts? Have we? Perhaps I should share with you a day’s observation on the subject, leaving you to make your own conclusions. Of course, this is a simple and commonplace illustration. The individuals I’ll refer to I consider victims themselves, victims of those, whom from intellectualism have only learned how to abandon a nation wandering in the desert, and how to mistake the realm of the fantasy and the intangible with obvious things and actual potentials in the world of politics. Oh! May they have never read those 15 or so volumes they did read!

As you know I live in Stockholm. Here all the residential buildings have their own laundry room below the ground floor, normally used by the residents through reserving a time slot on a computerized board. Three days ago it was my turn. It usually takes about an hour to wash your clothes. After placing their washables in the machines, people either return to their apartments and return an hour later, or take a seat and pass the time by reading a book or newspaper.

Anyway, after throwing my clothes in the washer I returned to my apartment. I turned on the television. They were showing a ceremony in remembrance of the Swedes who had lost their lives in the Southeast-Asian Tsunami, in the same hall where the Nobel ceremonies take place. Their King, seated; the Queen, accompanied by their three children. The Prime Minister, all the ministers, present. Members of the Parliament. The clergy. According to the reporter in the live telecast, some 700 cultural and intellectual figures, the main leaders of all Swedish political parties, lawyers, artists and in short all the important people in Sweden are present in this gathering.

First, His Majesty Carl Gustaf, the King of Sweden, gives a very emotional and moving speech. This is followed by a speech by Prime Minister Goran Persson. A chorus of female students, beautifully and impeccably dressed, sings a very emotional song. A few religious songs in soprano follow. The musicians play their instruments so emotionally that one’s entire body becomes affected. In between, the clergy perform ceremonies of prayer and eulogy. The poets recite humanist poems, poems that bring people together. National harmony, the spirit of helping and cooperation, unity, sympathy, dignity, civilization, respect, proper attire, culture, humanism, serenity and, in one sentence, the poetic, intelligent and dignified aspect of humanity is displayed at its peak. I look at my watch. I’ve been so engaged with this program that I am 15 minutes late already to pick up my clothes. I’m very much moved by these aspects of civilization and social-cultural progress. I cry in my heart, “Until when…”

I enter the laundry room. As I enter, I see two Persian speakers engaged in a political discussion. (May God Bestow His Abundance! Thanks to the Mullahs’ “Justice of Imam Ali” regime, Iranian refugees can be found in every nook and corner!) I know one of them very well. Like 93% of all Iranians, he is a poet. But he had had money, and had published a few 17-paged booklets of poetry, thenceforth becoming one of the thinkers and intellectuals. He is a radical member of the MEK, and not very warm toward other views.

I know the other a little. I know that he calls himself a communist. The subject of their conversation is ideology (Mine is better than yours!). Besides a courteous hello, I have no desire at all to enter their discussion. But how is that possible, when they don’t leave you alone! Our Mister Communist regards Sweden, a country that has provided him with asylum and opportunities, a backward capitalist country. He speaks of nothing but Mansour Hekmat and labor issues in Iran. He is of the opinion that in a not so distant future his party will not only free Iran, but will free the world from the shackles of capitalism. Why did you settle in a backward monarchy like Sweden, I ask; why didn’t you go to an advanced country like Cuba or North Korea? He answers in a derisive tone, “Is that what your Shahzadeh Reza has been telling you?” He adds, “Really, one has to be pretty backward to want a monarchy.”

As to Mister Mojahed, well, he believes that Monarchy is the disgrace of history. When I remind him of the glories of history, that he and his friends began suicide missions long before the likes of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, he replies furiously that that is exactly what the Mullahs say! Adding: that’s why Masoud has repeatedly said no Shah and no Mullah! I tell him dear friend, I wish you had seen the ceremony I was just watching. I add, every nation has its own particular culture and history. Every country’s democracy is the result of struggles and historic events shaped and supported by its people. They reply, one somewhat differently than the other, that Sweden too should do away with all this Monarchy nonsense; these are all swindles by capitalism and class society. I reply with just one more sentence and pick up my laundry. Of course, I say it in my heart:

Why did God short-change the Swedes on the number of thinking poets and intellectuals so that the country’s backward and poor Shahollahi (Monarchist) population could too enjoy the benefits of a Supreme Leader, a Revolutionary Guards, and an Ansar al-Islam?
